The CIA is working to get Iranian Kurdish militia forces into Iran to help the U.S. government overthrow the Islamic regime, according to a number of reports.
“The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran,” CNNreportedWednesday. “The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.”
There are thousands of Iranian Kurdish forces along the Iraq-Iran border. A source and a senior Kurdistan Regional Government official told CNN that “the CIA support for Iranian Kurdish groups began several months before the war.” Moreover:

Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran, in the coming days, the senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.
Two officials and a third source said Trump also calledIraqiKurdish leaders on Sunday to talk about America’s war against Iran and how the United States and the Kurds could “work together.” A senior Kurdistan Regional Government official is quoted as suggesting that they had little chance but to oblige the Americans. “[It’s] very dangerous, but what can we do? We cannot stand against America,” he said. “We are very frightened.”
A source told CNN “that the idea would be for Kurdish armed forces to take on the Iranian security forces and pin them down to make it easier for unarmed Iranians in the major cities to turn out without getting massacred again as they were during unrest in January.” The Kurds could also be used to create chaos.
The New York Timesreportedthat the CIA armed Iranian Kurdish forces “as part of a covert program to destabilize Iran” before this war even began.
Former CIA officer Tracy Walder told NewsNation that using the Kurds might help achieve the American goals, but it could come at a cost.
